overview:

The new film from Ang Lee, the Academy Award-winning director of "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." A startling erotic espionage thriller about the fate of an ordinary woman's heart, it is based on the short story by revered Chinese author Eileen Chang, and stars Asian cinema icon Tony Leung opposite screen newcomer Tang Wei.

Shanghai, 1942. The World War II Japanese occupation of this Chinese city continues in force. Mrs. Mak, a woman of sophistication and means, walks into a café, places a call, and then sits and waits. She remembers... how her story began several years earlier, in 1938 China. She is not in fact Mrs. Mak, but shy Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei). With WWII underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom) Kuang has started a drama society to shore up patriotism. As the theater troupe's new leading lady, Wong realizes that she has found her calling, able to move and inspire audiences – and Kuang. He convenes a core group of students to carry out a radical and ambitious plan to assassinate a top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee (Tony Leung). Each student has a part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yee's trust by befriending his wife (Joan Chen) and then draw the man into an affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted – until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee. Shanghai, 1941.

With no end in sight for the occupation, Wong – having emigrated from Hong Kong – goes through the motions of her existence. Much to her surprise, Kuang re-enters her life. Now part of the organized resistance, he enlists her to again become Mrs. Mak in a revival of the plot to kill Yee, who as head of the collaborationist secret service has become even more a key part of the puppet government. As Wong reprises her earlier role, and is drawn ever closer to her dangerous prey, she finds her very identity being pushed to the limit...

thx 4 the info~~~ $hug

I think the rating's a bit too conservative. There's hardly any nudity - didn't think that it earned its NC16 rating.

The plot is simplistic and almost idiot-proof. It's not one of those movies that will leave you wondering and thinking.

Overall, though, it's worth watching, if only for the lead actor (but not the actress).

the lead actress might not be famous but it is really a joy to watch her :D
hope can get uncensored version soon in singapore!!!
cut too much.. why must they import censored version when they could import uncensored one and rated it higher.. hmmm

there is still depth no matter what...
i was at depressing mode after the show..

So I finally watched the movie last night and now wondering what’s all the fuss about the censored scenes. I’m not sure which parts were censored, probably the more intimate scenes, well, I think what was shown was enough to show the deep character of Mr Yee (the rest can be left to imagination). I think overall, the cut version has shown sufficient to deliver the whole plot.

If you do get the chance, do watch "Stardust". It's based on the book written by Neil Gaiman, who happens to be one of Jonathan Leong's favourite authors, after all. :) :)

I'm not a fan of fantasy novels but this one's really great.
